How have you dealt with anti-vaxxer friends? I have one and I’m not mad or angry at them. I’m just disappointed that I’ve associated myself with someone like them. 😔

At this point, people who refuse to get vaccinated aren’t worried about their health but simply want to stick it to the government or whatever. I do not have any friends who are refusing the vaccine, but I would distance myself if I did. It’s a public health matter.

Meh. I and most others in our circle are vaccinated so whatever their reasons against covid vaccine, simply not worth the energy. With that said, I find that I am keeping a distance, less socializing together.

Yes I have a friend who is against the shot and never got it. I have seen her less as the time passes because she can’t go no where without the vac card.

Yeah I know a few people like this as well. It’s nice because you don’t really have to do anything about it - they’re forcing themselves into social irrelevance for us.

I have a good friend who is adamant about not getting the vaccine. I’m sort of avoiding being around that person as I get really angry about the ever changing reasons she gives on why she isn’t vaccinated yet. There’s no medical concern to not be vaccinated.

Interested in how much others spend on food per month and what that breakdown looks like between at home or ordering out.

My husband and I have no kids and order/go out very rarely, maybe once a month, and our grocery bill for just the 2 of us has risen to around $750-$800 per month this year.

It's starting to feel very unreasonable to spend so much despite not wasting much. I do buy mostly produce but not always organic, and very little meat.
